At the San Jose NAC I got into a conversation with Alex, one of the national armorers, and learned that she'd worked with a sport psychologist in the past. I asked if she'd be willing to share her experience with me in an interview, and she was happy to oblige. So, we stepped out to the one quiet spot we could find—the awards area—and had a great conversation about the value of sport psychology / mental training, how it helped her, and why it's important to work with someone who understands fencing. More interviews coming soon!
